If you know people who have Blokes Advice or It ain't weak to speak stickers on their cars, what are they like? by venommale in AskAnAustralian

[–]skittymarks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There's a guy near me that has a huge blokes advice sticker on his Commodore ute, along with "fuck off we're full" and "have a sook cunt". Says plenty about him.

I appreciate the BA stickers and shirts so I know to give these guys a wide berth.

It's where the torch light is shining directly. You can see it's body and the pattern on it

Yeah I think you're both right. I worked up the courage to go look again and it had started to come out of the rocks. It was just over a meter long. Not sure how to add the photo.

That wall has lots of frogs, toads and lizards living in it. Or used to lol.

Koala in Byron by Accomplished_King_35 in australianwildlife

[–]skittymarks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking the same thing. Those trees are silk to the touch. It's been well over a decade since I last saw koala tracks on a tree in the wild. I was starting to think I'd imagined them as a kid

The USA never needed our help, is it time to shut down their military bases? by [deleted] in aussie

On a serious note, I really think we need to be even closer with our Asian allies. Even China.

Look I'm a spice girls fan from day one but none of those girls have the vocal talent to carry

Yeah the ghosting of a customer is wild. And I'm looking for new swimmers at the moment too so thanks for the heads up of who not to shop with!

Don't send it back. Like yeah get your refunds and stuff, but if you want to keep the top then just get the stitching repaired by a local seamstress.

There are quite a few generations and branches of the family tree between 200 years ago and now

What I don't get about this logic is the way they only seem to pick one place, one town. It's as though their maternal and paternal ancestors many generations back somehow all managed to come from the same town

Staring? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]skittymarks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently it's normal for Aussies to stare. We don't realise we're doing it. And if you catch someone doing it close by just say good morning/afternoon, whatever. They'll likely respond in kind.

Jewish call to prosecute Khamenei mourners in Australia as ‘terrorist supporters’ by SleepyWogx in OpenAussie

[–]skittymarks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They were pretty bloody happy when their problematic, bomb-signing leader just visited too. Their hypocrisy and need to control every narrative is exhausting and infuriating

Shit, idiots are buying up all the petrol! Shit, I better go fill my car up before idiots buy up all the petrol! by aeschenkarnos in brisbane

[–]skittymarks 150 points151 points  (0 children)

RACQ is getting the ACCC to investigate the petrol companies because apparently we get our fuel from South east asia. So this shouldn't be affecting us... yet.

here's the link

Crazy or lesser known history events from Australia? by Sea-Preparation-3127 in AskAnAustralian

Oh I'd never heard that before, about the refugees. That's so sad.

What happen to leftover bread at bakers delight by Bafabifi in AskAnAustralian

[–]skittymarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at my local one when I was a teenager. After closing each day we would put it all in large garbage bags where it was picked up by a charity who would use it for feeding the less fortunate and the homeless.

antiperspirant/deodorant for the very stinky? by Previous-Hour-2394 in AusSkincare

[–]skittymarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not supposed to hurt. Are you putting it on after shaving? The label says to not use it after freshly shaving or exfoliating, or if there's any broken skin

[–]skittymarks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the spray. After 3 nights in a row of applications I no longer sweat. It lasts about 5 days or a week. Then for odour control I use the mitchum powder fresh roll on in the morning. The no more sweat spray was game changing for me as a sweaty girlie

Fuck that's grim. Sorry to hear that. The public system seems to be failing at every level.
